I had it in my mind to write it all down last night. I opted to snuggle down, hanker down, hide under the blankets with my boyfriend last night instead. And in the safety of his arms, I knew I could write about this today. Yesterday morning was a seemingly ordinary day. I love my…
Hashtag No Filter
What face will you put forward? What are you afraid of people knowing? When I get asked, I’m the first to say: it’s probably the filter. But is it? If you haven’t watched the Cynthia Nixon-narrated “Be A Lady” video, here it is for you: And it speaks to my truth. We as women are…
Is Love Blind?
It seems ridiculous to binge out on a Netflix reality show, and start to justify the authenticity of the concept. Especially on shows like The Bachelor, or this latest beast, Love Is Blind. It’s been a while since a show snagged my attention like this. The last time I remember being this invested was Outback…
Sick & tired of being sick & tired
If you follow Care’s page, you’ll know me as J, as her other half, Jan, the guy in all the pics and the guy she blogs about frequently. Most recently, you’ll have been seeing posts about my ongoing battle with diverticulitis. I have a lengthy and painful history with it. I’ve likened it to feeling…
A Message to My Daughter
by: Breanna Bedor My dearest Grace: A few days ago I walked by you with a basket full of laundry and you didn’t notice me at first. I silently watched as you wrapped a very long tape measure around your little waist. At first I was shocked – what would possess you to want to…
We are our own worst critic.
When I screw up at work, it’s the emotional equivalent of falling down the stairs in a crowded room. Everyone (in my case) hears me screw it up. Say it wrong. Fumble through. How honest should I get? It was Day I of a brand new job. One I’d worked hard for the last four…
don’t worry. we’re all a little messed up.
The buzz word is “triggered”. When used with the ‘ed’, it’s become a slander; a mocking reference to someone’s mental state. “Triggered”. But triggers (with that emotional ‘s’) are a cruel, impending set of circumstances that leads you back to where you once were, and changes the trajectory of your day, or night. Or weekend. We’re all…
Thanks for the laughs …
Over the last two years, I’ve been working alongside a couple of radio legends. A combined 100 years of radio experience between the two of them, I have been the luckiest gal to only be five years deep into my professional career & have these two as colleagues. As Big G & Matty ride out…
but actually, how busy are you?
Someone I used to know died last night. And on Facebook, someone else posted that their friend had also died. A friend they’d known since kindergarten. They’d recently reconnected, as they did from time to time. Someone else messaged and said they’d also dealt with tragedy. Why didn’t I still know this person? What else…
It’s only the one voice in hundreds that you remember
On a day like today, when I drop a realness post (https://www.facebook.com/careonair/posts/1309011395961005) and bare my soul with reverence and authenticity, I should expect some blow back. And I got it. I got dozens of fabulous messages. And support. And like and love emojis. And I wish I had the strength to enjoy them for what they…
